What we're looking for

We're looking for a Cybersecurity Architect who is passionate about helping organisations embed security into technology solutions from the outset. You'll enjoy working with a diverse range of stakeholders, translating complex security concepts into practical business outcomes, and influencing secure decision-making across a fast-paced and evolving technology landscape.

You'll thrive in an environment where collaboration, innovation and continuous improvement are valued. We welcome people with different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences, and we're interested in how your unique strengths can contribute to our team and clients.

You're skilled at building trusted relationships. You can work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders, adapting your approach to communicate security risks, recommendations and solutions in a way that is meaningful to different audiences.

You're naturally curious and solutions-focused. You enjoy analysing complex challenges, balancing risk with business objectives, and identifying practical ways to strengthen security while enabling delivery and innovation.

You're comfortable working collaboratively and influencing others. You build consensus across teams, challenge constructively when needed, and help drive secure outcomes through partnership, credibility and sound judgement.

Essentials

To be successful in this role, you'll bring:

• Experience designing and implementing security architectures that support business objectives while managing cyber risk.
• A strong understanding of security architecture principles, patterns and frameworks, including the evaluation and adoption of emerging technologies.
• The ability to design security solutions, oversee their implementation, and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Knowledge of project delivery approaches, including Agile, Waterfall and hybrid delivery methodologies.
• Experience applying cybersecurity best practices throughout the solution lifecycle, from design through to implementation and operation.
• A good understanding of information security and risk management frameworks, including legal, physical and technical security controls.
• Knowledge of cloud and information security standards, including ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018, or comparable industry standards.
• Understanding of common cyber threats, attack techniques and security risks, including data breaches, identity-based attacks, insider threats, third-party risks, data loss and denial-of-service attacks.
• Knowledge of Identity and Access Management (IAM) principles, controls and technologies.
• Experience working with a broad range of cybersecurity capabilities, such as endpoint protection, data loss prevention, device hardening, threat detection, key and certificate management, and data classification.
• The ability to act as a trusted cybersecurity adviser, explaining technical concepts, risks and recommendations clearly to both technical and business stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to assess complex problems and make risk-based recommendations.

Desirable

The following would complement the wider team but are not essential:

• Professional certifications such as SABSA, CISSP, CISM, or equivalent security architecture, security management or risk-related qualifications.
• Experience working within consulting, professional services or complex enterprise environments.
• Exposure to security engineering, cloud security, DevSecOps or secure-by-design programmes.
• A degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Information Security, Cyber Security, or a related discipline.
• Experience supporting regulatory, governance or compliance initiatives within large organisations.

This role would suit someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking with practical delivery, influencing stakeholders at all levels, and helping organisations make informed, secure technology decisions.
